Topic: Altmer


In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
  Oblivion:Altmer - UESPWiki
In the Empire, "High" is often understood to mean "proud" or "snobbish", and as the Altmer generally personify these characteristics, the "lesser races" harbor little warmth for them.
Altmer confidently consider themselves, with some justice, as the most civilized culture of Tamriel; the common tongue of the Empire, Tamrielic, is based on Altmer speech and writing, and most of the Empire's arts, crafts, and sciences are derived from Altmer traditions.
Deft, intelligent, and strong-willed, Altmer are the most strongly gifted in the arcane arts of all the races, and Altmer boast that their sublime physical natures make them far more resistant to disease than the "lesser races".

 Welcome to Aldrien's Chalice!
After the events during the short journey to Pelagiad, the altmer had been only too happy to provide a copy of some of his work for Sando'ar to take to another self-satisfied mage back in Balmora.
Sando'ar sat bolt upright in his kip, causing it to swing precariously, and began to trim the remaining singed fur from himself.
Sando'ar was not surprised at how quickly the mage recovered the haughty airs that seemed a charecteristic of many Altmer and was only too happy to acquit his presence at the tavern in Pelagiad.

 Tamriel Rebuilt
The humans in their tawdry courts in Cyrodiil, in their lust for power, concoct these falsities to foment tension among the Bosmer, implying that they come as saviors from the Altmeri ‘yoke,’ when in fact they seek only the enslavement of all Tamriel under their heavy-handed and illegal rule.
While it is the common belief of many Altmer that we are the only perfect race, a number of Altmer acknowledge our bond of kinship with the Bosmer, Dunmer and even the reclusive Ayleids as granting them some right in the inheritance of Tamriel.
We do not carry this respect as far as they do, for the Altmer are tied to Auri-El while the Bosmer are the servants of Y’ffre, who would have them not harm any of his creations.

 Unique Heads, Balmora
The Altmer Mage Estirdalin in the Balmora Mages Guild was one of the reasons I started meddling with the idea of unique heads - I was chatting to a friend who'd just installed some head mods (Astarsis & BH) and it seemed we had different headed Estirdalins, despite using the same mods.
To be honest, I was not happy at all with some of the Altmer women in BH, particular those ones based off of Wormgods, but we were in a hurry to get things done and Gorg wanted to use them so I didn't push the issue.
Oh and BTW not sure if you wanted to the glow on that Altmer lady you made or just kept it because the original mesh had it but you can easily get rid of it by making the glow map solid fl and fling over the eyes.

Her lithe Altmer limbs that moved with such grace and dexterity on land splashed awkwardly in the water, propelling her so slowly that she would have been easy prey in the vicinity of such beasts as those that patrolled the cruel waters of Vvardenfell.
But even in unpolulated waters Laurana felt uneasy; her lust for exploration of the rich and mysterious depths conflicted with her concerns about plunging too deep to return back to the surface for air.
This lone elf, wearing such fine weapons and armor, was a welcome sight to these lonely bandits who had long desired a target on which to practice the destructive magics they had been honing in the coastal wilderness.

Also, Altmer claim in Morrowind game lore that the reason they are so resistant to disease is because of their pure blood, meaning that they frown upon procreation with other races.
